Beer, it must be remembered, IS the ideal beverage in which to toast the up- swing, for it is an expansive drink. Any attempt to get us to drink beer while si ttin g in a small red-lea the r booth will be met with strong resist- ance. If we can read our zodiac, Feltman is in the ascendant and Tony is going behind the moon. (We are skipping over the problem of what to do about ladies, who now oc- cupy more room at bars than men do.) Beer is an open- air drink, essentially, and needs music, cheese, pretzels, and plen ty of space be- tween tables. We ask all hote1s to get theIr roofs dusted off against the summer nights. \Ve ask Carnegie Hall to take out all their orchestra seats, come June, and put in tables and give us popular concerts, similar to the old Boston "pops" which were so well attended years ago. \Ve ask Mayor O'Brien to wrest the Ca- sino away from what our taxi-driver this morning called "them tTIillionaires and Jimmy Walker" and let some of us commoners have a glass of beer un- der the wistaria. We recommend that all beer gardens provide musicians in the flesh; any garden that tries to catch the spirit of the thing by installing a radio and picking up a Strauss waltz will be snubbed by us, or, if we have had a couple of beers, kicked to pieces. We ask the Brevoort to remodel its front again (yes, again) and retrogress structurally in favor of sidewalk tables for sunny days. The Public Library has, of course, the finest chance of all: the little street in back, between the Library and Bryant Park, would make the perfect Biergarten. There are one or two piers in the river that could be decked over, or, failing that, barg- es could be made into lovely beer halls. Central Park, which now of- fers only the Casino on the one hand and Crackerjack, Baby Ruths, Tootsie Rolls, and AtTIOS 'n' Andy bars on the other, is the logical site for beer.

LeSS07Z W HEN he was hcre last wcek, Dr. Einstein told about how he was in the Los Angeles earthquake but didn't know about it. He was walking on the campus of the California In- stitute of Technology with Dr. Beno Gutenberg, who is one of the leading world authorities on earthquakes and who had been brought to the California institute to do research work on the subject. The two scientists were deep in a discussion of, of all things, earth- MARCH 25. 1 3 J : ....:.. : . ,;;; quakes. Their con versation was in- terrupted by a third scientist who came up and asked Dr. Gutenberg what he thought of the earthquake. Dr. Gut- enberg thought he meant the Tokio quake and started to tell him what he thought of that. Then the news had to be broken to him that he had just gone through one, about three 111in- utes before. Dr. Gutenberg rushed to his laboratory, where he found his instru111cnts recording furiously. Later he said he was keenly disap- pointed. He has devoted his life to a study of earthquakes but up to that day had never gone through one. When he finally did he didn't notice it. Sandbag. !
